EXHIBIT 10.6
GUARANTY
(Corporate)
New York, New York December 13, 2002
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, and in consideration of note purchases from, loans
made or to be made or credit otherwise extended or to be extended by Laurus
Master Fund, Ltd. ("Laurus") to or for the account of netGuru, Inc. ("Debtor")
from time to time and at any time and for other good and valuable consideration
and to induce Laurus, in its discretion, to purchase such notes, make such loans
or extensions of credit and to make or grant such renewals, extensions, releases
of collateral or relinquishments of legal rights as Xxxxxx may deem advisable,
the undersigned (and each of them if more than one, the liability under this
Guaranty being joint and several) (jointly and severally referred to as
"Guarantor" or "the undersigned") unconditionally guaranties to Laurus, its
successors, endorsees and assigns the prompt payment when due (whether by
acceleration or otherwise) of all present and future obligations and liabilities
of any and all kinds of Debtor to Laurus and of all instruments of any nature
evidencing or relating to any such obligations and liabilities upon which Debtor
or one or more parties and Debtor is or may become liable to Laurus, whether
incurred by Debtor as maker, endorser, drawer, acceptor, guarantor,
accommodation party or otherwise, and whether due or to become due, secured or
unsecured, absolute or contingent, joint or several, and however or whenever
acquired by Xxxxxx, whether arising under, out of, or in connection with that
certain Convertible Note dated as of the date hereof made by Debtor in favor of
Laurus (as amended, modified, restated or supplemented from time to time, the
"Note") or any documents, instruments or agreements relating to or executed in
connection with the Note or any documents, instruments or agreements referred to
therein (together with the Note, as each may be amended, modified, restated or
supplemented from time to time, the "Documents"), or otherwise (all of which are
herein collectively referred to as the "Obligations"), and irrespective of the
genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of such Obligations, or of
any instrument evidencing any of the Obligations or of any collateral therefor
or of the existence or extent of such collateral, and irrespective of the
allowability, allowance or disallowance of any or all of the Obligations in any
case commenced by or against Debtor under Title 11, United States Code,
including, without limitation, obligations or indebtedness of Debtor for
post-petition interest, fees, costs and charges that would have accrued or been
added to the Obligations but for the commencement of such case. In furtherance
of the foregoing, the undersigned xxxxxx agrees as follows:
1. NO IMPAIRMENT. Laurus may at any time and from time to time, either
before or after the maturity thereof, without notice to or further consent of
the undersigned, extend the time of payment of, exchange or surrender any
collateral for, renew or extend any of the Obligations or increase or decrease
the interest rate thereon, and may also make any agreement with Debtor or with
any other party to or person liable on any of the Obligations, or interested
therein, for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, discharge or release
thereof, in whole or in part, or for any modification of the terms thereof or of
any agreement between Laurus and Debtor or any such other party or person, or
make any election of rights Laurus may deem desirable under the United States
Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or any other federal or state bankruptcy,
reorganization, moratorium or insolvency law relating to or affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally (any of the foregoing, an "Insolvency
Law") without in any way impairing or affecting this Guaranty. This instrument
shall be effective regardless of the subsequent incorporation, merger or
consolidation of Debtor, or any change in the composition, nature, personnel or
location of Debtor and shall extend to any successor entity to Debtor, including
a debtor in possession or the like under any Insolvency Law.
2. GUARANTY ABSOLUTE. The undersigned guarantees that the Obligations
will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Note and/or any other
document, instrument or agreement creating or evidencing the Obligations,
regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any
jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of Debtor with respect
thereto. Guarantor hereby knowingly accepts the full range of risk encompassed
within a contract of "continuing guaranty" which risk includes the possibility
that Debtor will contract additional indebtedness for which Guarantor may be
liable hereunder after Xxxxxx's financial condition or ability to pay its lawful
debts when they fall due has deteriorated, whether or not Debtor has properly
authorized incurring such additional indebtedness. The undersigned acknowledges
that (i) no oral representations, including any representations to extend credit
or provide other financial accommodations to Debtor, have been made by Xxxxxx to
induce the undersigned to enter into this Guaranty and (ii) any extension of
credit to the Debtor shall be governed solely by the provisions of the
Documents. The liability of the undersigned under this Guaranty shall be
absolute and unconditional, in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in
full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended,
discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence
whatsoever, including, without limitation: (a) any waiver, indulgence, renewal,
extension, amendment or modification of or addition, consent or supplement to or
deletion from or any other action or inaction under or in respect of the
Documents or any other instruments or agreements relating to the Obligations or
any assignment or transfer of any thereof, (b) any lack of validity or
enforceability of any Loan Document or other documents, instruments or
agreements relating to the Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any
thereof, (c) any furnishing of any additional security to Laurus or its
assignees or any acceptance thereof or any release of any security by Laurus or
its assignees, (d) any limitation on any party's liability or obligation under
the Documents or any other documents, instruments or agreements relating to the
Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any thereof or any invalidity or
unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any such document, instrument or
agreement or any term thereof, (e) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding
relating to Debtor, or any action taken with respect to this Guaranty by any
trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding, whether or not the
undersigned shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing, (f) any
exchange, release or nonperfection of any collateral, or any release, or
amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty or security,
for all or any of the Obligations or (g) any other circumstance which might
otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the undersigned.
Any amounts due from the undersigned to Laurus shall bear interest until such
amounts are paid in full at the highest rate then applicable to the Obligations.
Obligations include post-petition interest whether or not allowed or allowable.
3. WAIVERS. (a) This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of
collection. Laurus shall be under no obligation to institute suit, exercise
rights or remedies or take any other action against Debtor or any other person
liable with respect to any of the Obligations or resort to any collateral
security held by it to secure any of the Obligations as a condition precedent to
the undersigned being obligated to perform as agreed herein and Guarantor hereby
waives any and all rights which it may have by statute or otherwise which would
require Laurus to do any of the foregoing. Guarantor further consents and agrees
that Xxxxxx shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of
Guarantor, or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. The
undersigned hereby waives all suretyship defenses and any rights to interpose
any defense, counterclaim or offset of any nature and description which the
-2-
undersigned may have or which may exist between and among Laurus, Debtor and/or
the undersigned with respect to the undersigned's obligations under this
Guaranty, or which Debtor may assert on the underlying debt, including but not
limited to failure of consideration, breach of warranty, fraud, payment (other
than cash payment in full of the Obligations), statute of frauds, bankruptcy,
infancy, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction, and usury.
(b) The undersigned further waives (i) notice of the
acceptance of this Guaranty, of the making of any such loans or extensions of
credit, and of all notices and demands of any kind to which the undersigned may
be entitled, including, without limitation, notice of adverse change in Debtor's
financial condition or of any other fact which might materially increase the
risk of the undersigned and (ii) presentment to or demand of payment from anyone
whomsoever liable upon any of the Obligations, protest, notices of presentment,
non-payment or protest and notice of any sale of collateral security or any
default of any sort.
(c) Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the
undersigned hereunder, or any setoff or application of funds of the undersigned
by Xxxxxx, the undersigned shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the
rights of Xxxxxx against Debtor or against any collateral or guarantee or right
of offset held by Xxxxxx for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall the
undersigned seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from
Debtor in respect of payments made by the undersigned hereunder, until all
amounts owing to Laurus by Xxxxxx on account of the Obligations are paid in full
and the Documents have been terminated. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any
amount shall be paid to the undersigned on account of such subrogation rights at
any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full and the
Documents shall not have been terminated, such amount shall be held by the
undersigned in trust for Xxxxxx, segregated from other funds of the undersigned,
and shall forthwith upon, and in any event within two (2) business days of,
receipt by the undersigned, be turned over to Laurus in the exact form received
by the undersigned (duly endorsed by the undersigned to Laurus, if required), to
be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order
as Laurus may determine, subject to the provisions of the Documents. Any and all
present and future debts and obligations of Debtor to any of the undersigned are
hereby waived and postponed in favor of, and subordinated to the full payment
and performance of, all present and future debts and obligations of Debtor to
Xxxxxx.
4. SECURITY. All sums at any time to the credit of the undersigned and
any property of the undersigned in Laurus's possession or in the possession of
any bank, financial institution or other entity that directly or indirectly,
through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by, or is under
common control with, Laurus (each such entity, an "Affiliate") shall be deemed
held by Laurus or such Affiliate, as the case may be, as security for any and
all of the undersigned's obligations to Xxxxxx and to any Affiliate of Laurus,
no matter how or when arising and whether under this or any other instrument,
agreement or otherwise.

remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or future exercise of any other
legal right, remedy or power. Each and every right, remedy and power hereby
